Landscaping Business Approved By County BZA
WARSAW — As part of a shorter than normal agenda, the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals granted an exception to James and Gayle Plummer to allow a home occupation business in a residential district. Approval was granted during the regular monthly meeting of the county BZA Tuesday, Dec. 8, in the Justice Building in Warsaw.
The Plummers have a landscaping business based in a pole barn on their property on CR 1200N, east of Woodland Acres Drive in Turkey Creek Township.
Other agenda items included:
• Stephen Naugler was granted an exception for construction of an oversized accessory building on Memorial Parkway at the intersection with Sleeping Beauty in Turkey Creek Township.
• David Oakes was granted an exception for an addition that will create an oversized accessory building and was also granted a variance for a pole barn addition on South Barbee at the intersection with EMS B22 Lane in Tippecanoe Township.
• Bluestem Properties was granted a variance to allow condominium expansion tracts to remain as created without right of way access on Backwater Road, east of Bond Street in Tippecanoe Township. Two tracts are being set aside for possible future expansion of the condos.
• The petition for Daniel and Patrick Clemens to reconfigure common lot lines on North Cedar Point Road at Lake Wawasee in Turkey Creek Township was tabled until the January meeting to allow the board time to visit the property.
• Two petitions for Jeremy and Teri Wilson were denied. They had sold property on Emeline Street, west of Higbee Street (SR 15) in Milford and petitioned for warehousing to be allowed in a residential district and also to create undersized tracts. But the BZA did not want to approve the petition with a small tract of land having its only access off an alley. There was remonstrance against the petition too.
• Bradley and Michelle Belcher were granted a variance to permit construction of a residence addition, an open porch, 20 feet from the water’s edge on South Channel Drive, north of South Road in Turkey Creek Township.
• Carolyn Anderson Properties was granted an exception to modify an existing exception by adding a second warehouse for boat storage on Warner Road by the railroad tracks in Turkey Creek Township.
